this weekend in Hull, East Yorkshire there has been, at long last, a celebration of Basil Kirchin - who lived in the city. His story is both fascinating & complex (someone really needs to write a book !). As well as his influence and work with jazz, library music and soundtracks, in my opinion, Kirchin is a shockingly overlooked link in the development of sound art here in the UK, through his work with found sound. So, here are some links for where you can find some of his music - lots is still unavailable / unreleased, but for now....
starting with his days with his father's big band:

5000+ hours of radio collage art from the 'Over the Edge' archive is now available for free online !

Over the Edge was put together by Don Joyce of Negativeland over 34 years & it would be daft to attempt to explain what these shows contain - follow the link, choose any of the 941 two-five hour episodes & listen....

I am fascinated and passionate about the infinite detail and expanding vistas of life around us, its sights and sounds, often overlooked or hidden. My creative output focuses on this never ending, joyous exploration via intuitive composition, conventional & extended field recording techniques, photography & photographic scores.
The music / sound I create has evolved from improvisation to what I prefer to term 'intuitive composition' and has increasingly involved elements such as a love of audible silence & stillness & the empathy of compositional arcs. These evolved from my need to always remain open to my emotive, intuitive response to situations & environments.
I have a wonderful life....
